Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

007: For King and Country #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Dynamite’s recent Bond series has been great. 007 is on the run here, an enemy of the state.

Bulls of Beacon Hill #5 (AfterShock) – The series has been grizzled mob action and we love it.

City Boy #1 (DC Comics) – We’re fans of checking out new characters and we’ve loved what DC has released so far with its new group of heroes.

Constellations (Holiday House) – A hell of a debut graphic novel about addiction. Watch our review.

Darkwing Duck #5 (Dynamite Entertainment) – For those that loved the animated series, the new comic series is a welcome return.

Fury #1 (Marvel) – Fury action, no matter if its Sr. or Jr., is always entertaining. We’re hoping for some cool spy action here.

Harrower #4 (BOOM! Studios) – We’ve been loving this horror series and we’re excited to learn all of its secrets in this issue.

Oshi No Ko Vol. 2 (Yen Press) – The series has been interesting so far as it examines fame with a murder mystery. Check out or review.

Storm #1 (Marvel) – A character that has been getting more and more of the deserved spotlight, we’re excited for this series.

Supermassive 2023 (Image Comics) – This new superhero universe has been interesting to watch and this is a one-shot to not be missed.

Tegan and Sara Vol. 1 Junior High (First Second) – Tegan and Sara alone has us interested in this.

We Are Scarlet Twilight #1 (Red 5 Comics) – The series looks like classic pulp adventures and we love that type of story.

Seven Years in Darkness #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Alien #1 (Marvel) – An alien unthaws from the snow ice and we’re always pumped for a new alien adventure.

Bulls of Beacon Hill #4 (AfterShock) – The series has been fantastic with a nice brutal and gritty mob story.

By the Horns: Dark Earth #8 (Scout Comics) – The blight continues to spread across Solothus as the Augernaut repairs near completion and Yun Ma’s plan for the continent begins to take shape. An awesome fantasy series with amazing art.

Deep Cuts #1 (Image Comics) – Stories of struggle, joe, and hope through the history of jazz. We’re excited to read this blend of music and comics.

Green Arrow #1 (DC Comics) – The Emerald Archer is lost, and it will take Oliver Queen’s whole family to find him! We’re pumped for a new Green Arrow series and we’re hoping the entire crew gets the spotlight they deserve.

Invincible Iron Man #5 (Marvel) – Tony is getting roped into the world of the X-Men and how it plays out should be something new and interesting.

Local Man #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been great blending classic image superheroes with a bit of a modern twist. Really solid so far and one for fans of superhero comics.

Money Shot Comes Again #1 (Vault Comics) – The XXX-plorers are back on their hands and knees for the good of humanity! When the giant ass space jellyfish who run the ordered universe arrive on earth, the porn-stars-cum-science explorers must put away grudges, crushes, and side-hustles to once again take one (or two! or three!) for the team.

Plush #6 (Image Comics) – Rednecks versus cannibalistic, serial-killing furries. The series has been crazy in all of the right ways.

Seven Years in Darkness #1 (CEX Publishing) – The Academy of Black Magic has reopened its doors for the first time in 200 years! Seventy-two children will walk through the Academy doors for freshmen year. But only seven will graduate and walk out alive!

Silence #1 (Literati Press) – Johanna Jones returns to her hometown of Anthem, a down-on-its-luck shipping town, to discover the ship her father sailed on has gone missing. She ends up aboard a yellow submarine named the Heart of Gold, headed directly into Hades’ Hexagon to find the missing crew, accompanied by her childhood best friend, a rich young addict, and a punk legend.

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 (Marvel) – The event wraps up and we’re intrigued to see how it’s all pulled off in one issue.

Action Comics #1053 (DC Comics) – The series has been fantastic so far making Superman really feel like a “family” of heroes.

The Ambassadors #1 (Image Comics) – Mark Millar’s newest series with Frank Quitely. The concept sounds interesting where people explain why they should be one of six people in the world to get powers. Part of the bigger picture for Millarworld and the upcoming event, we’re intrigued.

American Born Chinese (First Second) – If you haven’t had a chance to read this modern classic by Gene Luen Yang, here’s your chance before the new Disney+ series.

Bulls of Beacon Hill #3 (AfterShock) – The series has been solid so far and we’re intrigued to see how Christopher Boldt will deal with the attack on him by his father.

Don’t Spit in the Wind #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – A cleaning crew member goes missing near an old nuclear facility.

Dungeons & Dragons Saturday Morning Adventures #1 (IDW Publishing) – IDW’s “Saturday Morning” comics have been fantastic capturing the fun of the original animated series.

Fist of the North Star Vol. 8 (VIZ Media) – Kenshiro takes on the Holy Emperor Souther, the most powerful of the Six Holy Fists of the South Star. Hell yes!

Heavy Bright (Fantagraphics) – A queer young woman aims to dispel the greed and cruel masculine energy that has consumed the world.

Local Man #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue about a washout superhero was fantastic and we’re excited for what’s next in this series that’s an homage, spoof, and celebration of Image’s superheroes.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 (DC Comics) – The next steps for the team was hinted at in Lazarus Planet and this series seems like it’ll deal with the aftermath of that event.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #1 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – We’re so pumped to see national security expert Spencer Ackerman take on writing Waller!
